How is the Alloy Franchise Agreement construed and enforced, except as amended by the Illinois Addendum?

According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with its terms, except as amended by the Illinois Addendum. This means that all provisions of the original agreement remain in effect unless specifically changed by the addendum.

For a prospective Alloy franchisee in Illinois, this highlights the importance of carefully reviewing both the Franchise Agreement and the Illinois Addendum to understand their rights and obligations. The addendum is designed to ensure compliance with Illinois statutes and regulations, which may provide additional protections or impose different requirements than the standard agreement.

It is important to note that the Illinois Addendum takes precedence over any conflicting terms in the original Franchise Agreement. Therefore, franchisees should pay close attention to any sections modified or replaced by the addendum to ensure they are aware of the applicable terms in Illinois. This ensures that the Alloy franchise operates in accordance with Illinois law.
